[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly IMO -- the effect will be almost negligible.

The majority of federal jobs being moved are middle management and paper pushers for satellite offices.

So yes - USDA is heading to Kansas/Missouri, 3.5K of FBI is moving to Alabama, and BLM is moving...somewhere. But DoD is going nowhere, the majority of high security contractors are staying here and the lobbyists and tech developers (the real moneymakers) are growing.

I will happily take the 30,000 Amazon employees, 1,000 Google employees, and a couple hundred Facebook employees, and all of the New York millionaires moving down here in exchange for the loss of 4,000 or so feds moving to the middle of the country. Not to mention the relocation of Virginia Tech's campus and John Hopkins.

D.C. is booming.

Oh goodness. Johns Hopkins is not relocating. [/quote]

[b]A $400 million investment in a new campus says something else. But yes, they are staying on their main campus under armed militia guard for the foreseeable future.[/b]

“We have wanted to bring all of our activities together into one facility and also have increasingly wanted to be able to bring some of our programs and research activities that are currently in Baltimore and elsewhere to Washington,” Daniels said. “We are hoping that with this new facility we’ll be able to offer more opportunities for undergraduates to do, for instance, internships and policy-related seminars and other activities in Washington. This becomes a wonderful portal for us to bring undergraduate and graduate students who are currently in Baltimore to Washington for relatively discrete periods of time.”
